The 2016 Savannah Steam season was the third season for the indoor football franchise, and their second in American Indoor Football (AIF). For 2016, the Steam announced that they would be playing at the Savannah Civic Center. The team would run into severe financial troubles during the season with over $20,000 owed in rent for the use of the Civic Center and several unpaid sponsors. Eventually, the unpaid sponsors took their claims to the local sheriff's department in order to initiate an investigation and obtain the fees they were owed.
